` UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEG F. H. JONES, OF ATTICA, NEW YORK.

WATER-DRAWER.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 54,558, dated May 8,1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, F. H. JONES, of the town of Attica, in the county ofWyoming and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Methodfor Drawing NVater from Wells; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full and exact description thereof', reference beinggiven to the accompanying' drawings, and to the letters ofreferencemarked thereon.

The nature ot' my invention relates to an improved method or device bywhich water may be drawn from deep or shallow wells used for culinary orother purposes; and consists more particularlyin providing guides forconducting the bucket up and down iu the well, thus preventing' thebucket from swinging or twisting the strap which maybe attached to thebucket.

It further consists in providing a brake iu a cheap and novel manner,that may be applied at will to the windlass or capstan.

Figure I is a perspective View ot my improved water-drawer. Fig. II isaperspective view ot' the inside of the curb. Fig. III is a top-planview, showing the brake. is a view of the drum, clutch,l and crank. Fig.VI is also a top-plan view ofthe same. Fig. V is a view or cut ot thebrake, showing the lug.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I willproceed to describe its construction and operation.

Letters of like name and kind ret'er to like parts in each ot' thefigures.

A represents the curb, of common construe tion, with the top tapered ordrawn in for the purpose of bringing it to a suitable or convenient sizeto receive `the machinery to which it is attached.

Bis the cylinder or drum, with wheels O and D, that, iixed to thesha-ft, and being of larger diameter than the drum, t'orms ianges uponeach end, which prevents the strap or band E from running off while inoperation.

F is the brake, made in the form otl al1 elbow, secured by thepivot-bolt c, the short arm 'of which comes near the periphery of thewheel C, but not touching it. 1t will be ob- Fig. IV`V bucket.

served that on the brake-leveris a lug, c, which, when not used as abrake, fits into the notch or scatO, Fig. VI, and thus secures the drumrigidly to the shaft; but when the brake-lever is brought in contactwith the periphery of the wheel or iiange C the said lug is removed fromthe seat O, and the drum runs loose upon the shaft, while the crankremains stationary.

His a spiral spring secured to the brake and top portion `of the curb,which serves the purpose otl keeping the brake oft the iiange and thedrum fast to the shaft. So it will be seen that by working the brakeback and forth throws the shaft in and out ot gear with the drum.

t', Fig. I, is a-lso a ratchetbrake that works in the ratchet-wheel D,and is also operated by the brake F. The end of thebar ot the pawl orbrake t' is bent over the lever F, so that when the lever F is moved thepawlt thrown out ot' the ratchet and the bucket` drawn from the well.

n u are rods which serve the purpose ot' guides for the bucket as itascends and descends, by passing through the loops or eyes n n, whichare attached to the bail of the x is a hook, secured upon one side ot'the bucket, so that as it ascends it will come in contact with the bailI, and, as the bucket continues to ascend, the contents of the bucket isemptied into the spout P.

l is the crank, rigidly secured to the shaft m, and by which the bucketis lowered and raised.

Having thus described my invention, what. I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The brake F, provided with lug c, for t-he double purpose of a brakeand, for holding or securing the drum B to the shat't or loosening it atwill, for the purposes and substantially as described.

2. The ratchet and pawl, when constructed and operated substantially asherein set forth.
